Nice to see more 9th region teams in there. Interesting that Boone dropped a few spots since the last ranking, despite not losing since the last poll.

Nice to see some NKY teams getting some recognition.

This happened to at least one other team. I don't know the specific weighting and formulas, but one team dropped that beat a lower ranked opponent by 20. They either did not beat them badly enough to hold their ranking, or simply playing a low ranked opponent is a larger penalty than losing to a higher ranked opponent. Not complaining...just an observation.

I still don't understand how EC or Scott Co are ahead of Holmes though considering the teams Holmes has beaten.

Holmes has beaten 3 of the top 6....Scott Co has beaten 1 of the top 6...Elliott Co has beaten 0 of the top 25 according to Cantrall's ratings...

I am going to have to be consistent in spite of my team's lofty ranking. I have always thought Cantrall's and Lit's rankings were based on a formula that produced flawed results. Never liked those rankings and never will. But, they do give us something to talk about.

Did anyone ever consider that it might be wasted energy to worry about rankings? I think maybe I have after having been overly critical of the BGP rankings (a mistake I don't plan on making again). What does it really matter? Rankings don't win ball games, and as a matter of fact because one team is ranked above another doesn't mean the underdog has no chance.

 

I think I'll just sit back and try to enjoy the season.

 

BTW Eta, I do think that Holmes deserves the #1 ranking. With Pittman and Co. they are probably the most difficult team for anyone to match up with.

Glad to see Elliott County still on top:D

I agree. Never liked the LIT or Cantrall rankings...regardless of where Holmes was ranked.

You making the trip up to Covington Friday night for the Holmes/Franklin game?

I still don't understand how EC or Scott Co are ahead of Holmes though considering the teams Holmes has beaten.

 

:idunno::idunno::idunno:

 

Just Dave Cantrall's opinion, March will crown the true number #1. :ylsuper:

True that. :thumb:

These ratings are terrible, as well.

Eta, I will be making the trip. FC will be short handed (missing two key players) for the Holmes game Friday as well as the Dixie Hieghts game Sat.

 

It will be a big time test for FC. Plan on staying overnight Friday, and for sure will be looking for wings and a cold refreshment after the Holmes game.

 

Hooters on the river might be the spot.

I'll get in touch with you before the game and we'll work something out. I have some connections so maybe I can get ya in the game for free.
